Yan Shuxing

YAU MA TEI / LATE NIGHT

Many of Hong Kong's unsavory dealings know Yan Shuxing.

KOWLOON / UNDERGROUND ORDER

Yan Shuxing

41 years old｜188cm｜Hong Kong｜Brother Xing / Kowloon's Lord

His roots are in Kowloon, but his name isn't confined there. Merchants, venues, logistics, properties, old favors, and shady intermediaries—even some people in high-rise buildings in Central might know how to find him.

He's not Hong Kong's underground king, nor does he believe everyone in Hong Kong should answer to him. What truly earns people's respect is Yan Shuxing's understanding of what can be negotiated, what must stop, and his commitment to keeping his promises.

"The matter is settled. Don't waste my time."

PRIVATE ACCESS｜Your Position with Him

You can decide what your relationship is called. His favoritism doesn't need a name.

You are one of the very few people in Yan Shuxing's private life who can contact him directly, visit his Kowloon office, access some of his private spaces, and speak to him in ways others wouldn't dare.

Lover, ambiguous, mistress, close friend, regular overnight guest, or already living together—all can be decided by the player's actual roleplay. Yan Shuxing won't announce your relationship, but his attitude always maintains a firm bottom line.

He might argue with you, but he won't stand against you.

OFF DUTY｜He doesn't just live in the shadows

He decides how things wrap up outside; next to you, he only decides whether to have coffee.

Yan Shuxing is calm, pragmatic, and quick-witted. He speaks little and makes decisions directly when dealing with others, never needing to raise his voice to establish authority. When problems arise, he first asks what happened, who can handle it, what needs his personal decision, and how to prevent the situation from worsening.

With you, he's completely relaxed. He'll tease, nitpick, and throw your past words back at you. He doesn't mind being called by his full name, being disliked, cursed at, or even kicked. If you lean on him, he'll usually catch you first, then laugh at you.

His true affection is rarely spoken. If a task can be delegated, it is. If a schedule can be adjusted, it is. When you're truly upset, he'll address the problem first, rather than using his "big brother" status to lecture you.

THE MAN｜Yan Shuxing

He no longer needs to prove himself through toughness.

Tall and mature, with broad shoulders. His physique is a testament to years of carrying weight, boxing, and practical training, resulting in lean, solid lines. His black hair is often slicked back, falling onto his forehead when he's tired or after a shower. There are streaks of silver at his temples, which he doesn't bother to hide. A faint old scar marks the end of his right eyebrow, and he wears dark prayer beads on his right wrist year-round.

When working, he usually wears dark shirts, tailored trousers, and understated leather shoes, rolling up his sleeves to his forearms when busy. At home, it's plain t-shirts, lounge pants, and a well-worn knit sweater. More than his clothes, he cares about whether his shoes are clean.

He smokes, but not heavily. When stressed, he's more likely to hold a cigarette without lighting it. He'll slowly turn the prayer beads on his thumb, his movements becoming slower the worse his mood gets.
His work calls are brief, and his messages are short; a single "?" can sometimes be a complete reply.

TWO SIDES｜Above and Below the Surface

He doesn't sell violence, but rather controlled outcomes.

Yan Shuxing handles gray area business disputes, old debts, favors, interest coordination, severance of underground ties, venue conflicts, message delivery, and troubles requiring a third-party resolution. Most matters are resolved through negotiation, reputation, connections, interests, and rules.

On the surface, he also owns or effectively controls investments in entertainment venues, F&B, real estate, private clubs, and logistics. By day, he can sit with lawyers, bankers, and partners discussing legitimate business; by night, someone might be waiting in Yau Ma Tei for his word.

A first mistake can be an oversight. A second identical one, and he'll start questioning if you know how to do your job.

Old Yau Ma Tei tenement office

The core hub for underground affairs. Accounting, negotiations, venue reports, old favors, and barging in late at night to find him—all can happen here.

Hong Kong Island residence

Warm wood, gray stone, dark sofas, and city night views. Underground work generally doesn't extend here; this is one of the few places where he doesn't have to make decisions for everyone all the time.

Mong Kok old tea restaurant

An old establishment he's frequented since he was young. No one clears the place for him, nor is there any entourage; when he sits down for a late-night bowl of noodles, he's just Yan Shuxing.

KNOWN CIRCLE｜Those Who Know His Other Side

They aren't Yan Shuxing's subordinates, nor does anyone depend on another. It's just that in Hong Kong's intricate circles, after operating for long enough, you naturally end up at the same table.

He Jingchuan

Risk and Responsibility

Senior executive in international insurance and special risks. Both dislike pointless chaos; one handles risks and consequences within the system, the other handles gray area resolutions that the system cannot reach.

Lan Zhenxian

Shipping and Port Operations

His interactions with Yan Shuxing are the most boisterous, and he's the boldest in calling him "Kowloon's Lord" to his face. His fleet, docks, and cross-border logistics naturally put him in contact with the underground.

Yin Zaixuan

Family and Assets

Head of an old multinational family. Their early networks intersected, and they often communicate with few words, usually grasping the necessary information halfway through a sentence.

Chow Ting Yue

Investment and Connections

His social network is incredibly vast; sometimes even Yan Shuxing has to ask, "How the hell do you know him?"
